[SOLVED] Set Default Language for new/existing Users

crpb

Could this be implemented? Shouldn't be to hard right as 'Posteingang' is the Top-Folder?

I could use localize-folders.py to set all Folders to english. But I can almost hear the first one whine.

Your problem here is that the store has been created in english and you have just imported ontop of that language-incompatible folder structure. Best fix is to use the API or UI in the first place correctly and select the users language (momentarily EN and DE with many languages in the queue showing up shortly).

Now since you've ended up here the following hint:

Move all from "Posteingang" to "Inbox", since based on the icon this is your current "special folder".
Get rid of Posteingang by deleting it. CAREFUL: depending on the size of your folder, it might be a good idea to do this in online mode or via grommunio Web, since per default, Outlook uses Exchange Offline Mode and syncing this might take a bit. You can see it completed when on the lower right bottom your status updates with "All folders up-to-date."
Execute outlook.exe /resetfoldernames or login to grommunio Web and re-set the language to german. The folder languages are updated as well.

So it would be best to Create/Sync all Users. Set them to German and then Start the Import or should they Log in at least once?
I couldn't find a Default Switch for either Company or Server. I think this would be much appreciated eitherwise.
EDIT: And i tried to find a way with grommunio-admin. Seems it can only 'show' "Users".
Will
set the Language? Then i will just Update the Ldap/AD Objects.

Alright.. Setting 'german' Flags it as 'Deutsch' in the Web-Admin.

$AllUsers=Get-ADUser -Filter *

foreach ($u in $AllUsers){
    Set-ADObject -Identity $u.DistinguishedName -replace @{preferredLanguage="german"}
}

Just don't forget when creating a new User by Hand.

Morning'
@mwilliams hope you got my Mail.

For anyone else who will run into something similiar. Zarafa-Folders are localized. So gromox-mt2exm will import actual localized Names. Therefore the 'Mapping' will not work as the Folder-Names are already taken. I'm still trying to determine the best way to resolve it because i don't want to Check/Move Folders in every Mailbox after the Import. But this so far.
